In his long interview with TMWthe defender and vice captain of Fiorentina Lucas Martinez Fourth he also spoke about his national teammate Lautaro Martinez. The Inter captain is included in the list of possible winners of the Ballon d’Or together with players of the caliber of Rodri and Vinicius. These are the words of Martinez Quarta on Toro’s chances of winning the coveted trophy:
Can Lautaro Martinez win the Ballon d’Or?
“In my opinion, yes. He scored many goals, he won the Copa America and the bota de oro (best scorer of the tournament, ed.), the scudetto, he was top scorer in Serie A… He has everything to win it.”
So, a thought on another Argentine striker like his teammate Lucas Beltran: “For me he is a great footballer. I was with him at River and you could already see that he was a strong player and capable of doing well. It was a joy to find him here, finding continuity he will be able to do great things. I don’t know if as an attacking midfielder or as a striker, for me he has the quality to play both roles. With his physique he suffers a bit from physical duels with defenders, but he can play both roles because he is intelligent at reading the plays and knows how to go deep.”
